1. A butterfly tank if Y2K-inspired fashion is your guiding light when it comes to festival OOTDs this year.
Promising review: "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY TOP! I did have to have a friend really tighten the strings on the back so the girls wouldn’t pop out. BUT once it’s tight THOSE LADIES ARE NOT COMING OUT! I boogied and head-banged all day and night at a music festival and got so many compliments! Very flashy! Fits exactly as expected." —Emily Evins
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 41 styles).
2. A wildly adorable printed midi skirt and tank set that's the perfect combo of comfy and trendy. The "Best Dressed at the Fest" award is about to be yours.
3. A crochet crop top because boy oh boy is crochet in, and honestly idk if you can learn to make this before the big day. You should def learn — because crocheting rules. But maybe aim to make a shirt for *next* year and grab this one in the meantime.
4. A sheer velvet leopard print jumpsuit to stay sleek and agile as you show off your signature moves.
5. A biker-short unitard that's just really cool, if I do say so myself. It's super stretchy, easy to get into, is shockingly supportive, and is amazing for anyone who plans on dancing their absolute heart out. Dancing is quite the workout — might as well dress for it!
6. A rhinestone mesh top if you can't stand to shine any less bright than the headliners. Consider this your new tour costume.
7. A patterned robe that's as groovy as it gets. When it comes to raking in compliments, busting out dramatic dance moves, and getting a bit of cover from the sun, it's a high achiever.
8. A boho romper with a tied front and bell sleeves for injecting some ~Woodstock energy~ into your weekend. ☮️
9. A pair of wide-leg overalls so you have the easiest, breeziest time in the easiest, breeziest outfit. It's going to be impossible to be stressed about making it from stage A to stage B on time when you're in such a chill, cute look.
Because these are 100% cotton, reviewers recommend sizing up to account for shrinking or sticking with your regular size and line drying them.
Promising review: "Love these and so glad I bit the bullet and purchased! I wear over a black shirt, and it’s the perfect outfit for looking on trend yet staying comfortable. Breathable cotton, double pockets, and adjustable straps!" —ShelB
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 18 colors).
10. A maxi cutout dress suitable for fests of all kinds. From techno in the desert to bluegrass in Appalachia, if you want to stun while you vibe to your favorite tunes, look no further.
Promising review: "I got this dress because I saw it all over TikTok. It’s so cute!!! If you’re like me and flat chested, it will still look so cute on you. Perfect length — perfect everything! BUY THIS DRESS." —Vanessa
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 16 colors and styles).
11. A pair of heart shades so you can make literal heart-eyes at your favorite musicians all day long.
Promising review: "I highly recommend these! They're the perfect size, great sun protection, and they came with a little cloth baggy for them, a nice microfiber cloth, and a cute little double-sided screwdriver keychain tool!" —Jerrad W. Gindlesberger
"These sunglasses are so cute. I wore them to a concert and they didn’t hurt my head or face." —Madisyn
Get a pair from Amazon for $12.88 (available in 25 colors and styles).
12. A pair of flowy running shorts so you can absolutely sprint to the front of the mainstage right when the gates open to stake your claim on a front row spot for your fave artist.
Promising review: "I love these shorts! They are so comfortable. The shorts are so comfortable that I wear them to bed. They are breathable and perfect to work out in! I bought these for a Halloween costume, and they became my favorite pair of shorts. The material is so smooth and soft. I also love that there is a pocket so that there is somewhere to put your phone while you are working out." —Amie Pike
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 30 colors/styles).
13. A pair of deliciously colorful (and comfortable) Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers that'll keep you bouncing, dancing, and grooving throughout the weekend. Multiple days at a fest can be hell on the tootsies, so opting for a new cushy pair is always a good choice.
14. A puff-sleeve maxi dress for those who are flower crown girlies at heart. I pray that you get to see all the folk-leaning indie music your huge heart desires this season.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and fell in love with the dress! This dress is very cottagecore and fits well. The dress also has a slip underneath, so that it isn’t too sheer, and the sizing is correct for the most part (depending on your bust as the top half of the dress is made of 'stretchy' material). I would definitely recommend this dress! Buy it if you’re thinking about it." —Jin
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in XS–XL and in 27 colors).
15. A multipurpose rainbow pashmina to wear any and every which way. Getting too much sun? Use it as a hood! Getting a little chilly at night? Wrap it around your shoulders for a bit of warmth!
16. A strapless mesh bustier for anyone who wants their festival look to be more "going out" than "fun in the sun." More power to you, just know that I'm a little intimidated by how cool you are.
Promising review: "Incredibly classy, fits well, stays up all day. I pair it with navy palazzo pants and a necklace to instantly become the most chic person in the room. Incredibly easy to style and EXTREMELY WELL MADE. I was really worried it wouldn't stand up to any significant wear, but it has lasted an entire day at an outdoor festival with zero issues." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes 00–20 and in 20 colors).
17. A lightweight twist bodycon dress with a bit of a cutout that comes in a whopping 45 colors and patterns, so you have a feast of options when it comes to your palette. Just don't forget to put some sunscreen on your belly before you head out for the day!
Promising review: "I was very skeptical about this dress. It sat in my cart for months. I absolutely love this dress! I felt sexy and comfortable wearing it. It hugs the body perfectly. I dressed it up for date night and then dressed it down for a music festival. I absolutely love it and laugh at myself for hesitating!" —DHansbur
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 45 colors).
18. A pair of high-waisted bike shorts with over 57,000 5-star ratings so you can rock the trendy little shorts + oversized band tee look in front of the band whose shirt you're wearing. Meta.
Promising review: "I have only recently began wearing actual shorts. I've always had thick thighs and hated how most shorts either rode up in the middle as I walked, or my thighs chafed. These shorts are the answer to all my previous dilemmas. They fit true-to-size. They are comfy and breathable while also not being see-through at ALL! I will be purchasing several more of these as they have become my new favorite article of clothing. Oh, and the absolute best part is they have POCKETS!!!!! Pockets on the legs not on the waistband like most biker shorts or leggings, which is super inconvenient to use. A large enough pocket on each leg to comfortably hold my phone in its case! These are the perfect shorts IMO." —Allison Clay
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, three lengths, and 32 colors and styles).
19. A Topo Designs waist pack to hold all of your essentials where they can't get swiped or lost. I wore this 24/4 to the last big ol' music weekend I attended and I can't imagine going to another fest without it. My phone, wallet, glasses, and ear plugs all nestled in safe and sound.
20. A 12-pack of colorful cotton bandanas that are always helpful to have on-hand. They're a hair accessory, sun protection, dust protection, an impromptu sweat towel, and so much more all rolled into one, so bring a few extra for any pals you're traveling with too. They'll definitely appreciate it!
21. A kickin' pair of cowboy boots if you bought a ticket solely for the one or two ~yeehaw~ acts that got booked. Make your fandom known! And regardless of what kind of music you're into, they're just plain cool.
22. A throwback pair of American Apparel disco pants whose shiny, stretchy fabric will be essential for allowing and accentuating your dramatic kicks when you're in the center of a dance circle.
23. A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress uniquely qualified to meet your festival needs. A built-in bra, adjustable straps, and — best of all — shorts with pockets are all features you'll definitely be thankful for after 10 hours straight outdoors.
Promising review: "This dress is so cute and comfortable, and the built-in shorts/pockets are really convenient of you're going somewhere (like a music festival) and need somewhere to put your ID, phone, etc." —Brittney Hansen
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors).
24. A pair of mirrored Pit Viper sunglasses because I can't think of a better time to wear red mirrored sunglasses with flames down the sides than at an outdoor fest. And besides looking rad, they also offer 100% UVA and UVB protection so your peepers will be protected.
25. A pair of mushroom earplug earrings so your (essential!) hearing protection is always right where you need it. Fumbling with loose earplugs is annoying and, in my experience, a surefire way to lose earplugs in the middle of a set.
26. A colorful fringe jacket whose whole life has been leading up to this moment: completing your best desert look yet.
27. A ruched crop top that you can cinch as high or low as you like, so the length falls just so depending on how much skin you want to show.
Promising review: "I love this shirt. You can wear it at several different lengths. It is a soft stretchy material. Not see through at all. Very comfortable for wearing all day and night. Pair this with a skirt or cute pair of jeans!" —Katrina
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–4X and in seven colors).
28. A splurge-worthy pair of Red Wings Iron Ranger boots to protect your feet from the dirt, dust, and mud they'll inevitably face on the grounds, as well as from getting stepped on while in some major crowds.
